Location May 22, 2009

As far as the location is concerned, I guess we need some help from the locals, as I have never been to Albania before. I'd like a genuine place where it's possible to eat some real Albanian food, have a nice atmosphere, not too much smoke. Maybe outdoor? Waiting for proprositions

Location May 22, 2009

How about meeting in Vlora? Two hours and a half from Tirana, wonderful combination of mountains and seaside, pine trees and crisp air. I could show you some lovely restaurants right over looking the Ionian sea. There is this amazing little hotel restaurant perched on a rock overlooking the sea...it's just breathtaking.

Tirana May 23, 2009

The fact is that I'm flying on the 28th, then have to go to Ohrid. I don't have the time and energy this time to go too much around. Next time to Vlora.

There's plenty of time until then. I'm sure we'll find somewhere nice for all of us. There are lots of nice spots in Tirana.

We have a very nice outdoor place with very good traditional food called Sofra e Ariut. It is our turn (locals) to decide..so feel free to recommend!

Dear EuTranslate Jun 15, 2009

As you can read under "location", I kindly asked locals to propose a restaurant, as I've never been to Albania before and I-ll fly tehre on the 28th. I'm open to propositions

INFO Jun 15, 2009

So this Powwow is just one day event? Is there any agenda, presenters, speakers? Are only the above translators attending or will be present somebody else? What about visa? Can it be bought on the border?
